Lake Tahoe

Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and pine trees, Lake Tahoe is one of the purest lakes in the world and is the second deepest lake in the United States. Ask a local why they live in Tahoe and they’ll smile, and with a small wave towards the lake and the mountains, they’ll say “this is why I live here.” “This” implies the beauty and adventure of Tahoe. A quintessential mountain town and a key player in the Tahoe community, Truckee is just thirteen miles north of the lake and Squaw Valley lies in between. A forested ski community nestled in the Sierra Nevada Range, Squaw Valley is gorgeous and green in the summer, white and sparkling in the winter, and there’s no question as to why the 1960 winter Olympics were held here.
